MAR-GIT URBANTSEK, OF BUDAPEST, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

TOOL FOR PATTERNING PILED FABRICS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARGIT URBANTSEK, a subject of the King of Hungary,residing at Vaczi utcza 47, Budapest, IV, in the Empire ofAustria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTools for Patterning Piled Fabrics, of which the following is aspecification.

On piled fabrics, particularly velvet very pleasing patterns can beproduced by ironing down the pile after a given design. For such workinstruments were used heretofore which consisted of a heated point and asocket like ironer screwed to said point or otherwise fitted there. Thework to be done with such instruments requires great skill and a longpractice in guiding the point, as the pile must be ironed down by thepoint of constant form and shape in lines of varying thickness and oversurfaces of varying shape. For this reason it is not possible to copythe pattern with the desirable accuracy and style even if the operatorbe skilled and careful.

The present invention refers to an instrument with which the abovementioned work can be done without any skill or practice being requiredwith an accuracy and a rapidity unequaled until now and in the moststylish manner. This instrument consists likewise of a heated point asocket-shaped ironer which is loosely fitted on the point and is held inposition by friction only. For each point several such ironers areprovided, each of which has a different shape and size and the one isused in working corresponding best to the respective pattern. Theseironers are exchanged on the present instrument in a very simple mannerwithout any loss of time, as the ironer need be only pulled ofi thepoint and be replaced by another. In the instruments used until now theironer had to be unscrewed from the hot point, which was of course verydangerous and could not be done very quickly.

In the accompanying drawing the instrument forming the subject of thepresent invention is exemplified in some modifications.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 391,281.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the instrument; Fig. 2 is asection alongAB in Fig. 1; Figs. 35 show side and bottom view of several types of theironer.

The pyrographic point 1 is screwed in known manner to the one end of atube 3 penetrating the handle 2, the other end being connected to arubber tube 4= communicating with a carbureter.

According to the present invention on point 1 is fitted detachablysocket 5, which has a lug 6 at an oblique angle, the point of whichforms the ironer. This point may now be of different shape or size.

accordingly as it is to be used to iron thin or thick lines, stripes orwhole surfaces of given shape. So the type shown in Fig. 3 has adisk-shaped ironer 7- at the point of the lug 6, with which ironerstripes of the width of the disk can be ironed. In the type shown inFig. 4 the ironer has an elliptical shape. In the type shown in Fig. 5the lug 6 projecting from socket 5 has three branches, each of whichforms an ironer, so that with this tool three parallel lines or stripescan be ironed.

The ironers can of course be made in the most varied shapes.

Having now described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States is:

In a tool for producing patterns on piled fabrics, the combination of asocket made of heat conducting material and a pyrographic point, saidsocket having an opening of the same diameter as the pyrographic pointand mounted directly thereon, said socket terminating in an inclinedextension, the end of said extension being formed into an ironer, forthe purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MARGIT URBANTsEK.
